Your Majesty is benevolent!

This is the common idea of all the people of the Ming Dynasty.

But.

As time passed, Zhu Di's behavior of confiscating the food from the homes of corrupt officials and gentry and then sending it to the disaster-stricken people in the north gradually caused some dissatisfaction among the gentry in the world.

"How can such a pariah let the blood of our gentry live?"

"That is really a despised scholar for us!"

"Hmph, you have forgotten that that is the blood of a beggar, and his father is also so contemptuous of our gentry and wantonly bullying!"

"Etiquette is broken, and the king has no way!"

"Princess, be cautious!"

"Hmph, what about Shen Yan, he has already started, and he will raise and slaughter us as pigs......"

"The thief of the country......"

“……”

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Zhu Di looked at the secret letter in his hand, his face was cold.

"These thieves dare to spread rumors like this, insult me like this, and insult the imperial examination ......"

Yisha hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it must be those corrupt officials who are afraid, for fear that Jinyi Wei will find out their crimes and be raided by Your Majesty, so they spread rumors everywhere to disturb Your Majesty's state of mind!" ”

Zhu Di was furious, "A group of thieves are all chaotic parties!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di stared at Yi Shiha tightly, "Can you find out, which chaotic ministers and thieves said these words?" ”

Yisha hurriedly said: "Your Majesty forgives the sin, the slave has not been found out!" ”

Zhu Di said in a cold voice: "Spread my secret decree, let Jinyiwei and those businessmen secretly investigate the words of these thieves for us!" ”

"Slave obeys!"

After Yisha answered, he asked again: "Your Majesty, now that Wang Zhen, the envoy of Jinyiwei, is still investigating corrupt officials outside with the officials of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, can you let them all take a break?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di stared at Yisha.

He also shuddered, his face full of fear.

"The slave has many mouths, and the slave and the slave have many mouths......"

Zhu Di ignored Yi Shuha, but continued to say angrily: "Those thieves think that they can make me divert my attention or make me subjugate......

They are very wrong, the imperial examination can be from a cloth cloth, expelling the tyrant yuan, establishing the Ming Dynasty, I now have a million troops, the kings guard the Ming Dynasty, how can they stop investigating and dealing with corrupt officials and gentry because of the words of the thief? ”

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, those thieves have been frightened by Wang Zhen one by one, and they want to use some rumors to stop Your Majesty!"

Yisha hurriedly flattered, "But they don't know, this will only speed up their way to death!" ”

"Don't be careless!"

Zhu Di squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Although I am not afraid of these thieves rebelling, I must also deal with it cautiously, don't implicate too many innocent people!" ”

"Your Majesty's kindness is a blessing to the people of the world!"

Yisha said with a sincere praise on his face.

"Go ahead and arrange it!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and didn't continue to say anything.

Yishiha replied respectfully again, and hurriedly went down to arrange manpower.

Although there are not many eunuchs in the palace, they have the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce, that is, the merchant manpower of the whole Ming Dynasty, and they can also control the Jinyi Guards of the whole Daming, and they have more and more people.

For Zhu Di's request, he was very calm.

When Yishiha came back again, Zhu Di took Yishiha again and went out of the palace to the Dingguo Mansion.

In this matter, he also wanted to hear Zhu Di's idea.

For Zhu Di, as well as Yishaha, the great companion who has been serving His Majesty in the palace, the gatekeeper and guard of Dingguo Gong, who have long been familiar with it, can no longer be familiar.

Therefore.

Zhu Di, Yishiha and others just walked to the door of the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, and the guards on the side hurriedly opened the gate and invited Zhu Di in.

Immediately, a guard hurriedly led Zhu Di and the others to walk in.

"Your Majesty?"

"The villain sees His Majesty!"

It's just that when Zhu Di came to the main hall, he didn't see Guo An, only one person was cleaning the main hall.

However, this subordinate obviously also knew Zhu Di, and after looking up and seeing Zhu Di, he was stunned at first, and then hurriedly knelt on the ground, saluting with a panicked face.

"Where did Dingguo Gong go?"

Zhu Di asked directly.

The subordinate didn't know what to think of, and his face changed slightly.

"Your Majesty, my lord, my lord......"

"Huh?"

Yishuha's face sank, "Dingguo Gong doesn't dare to hide anything from Your Majesty, you are a servant, and you dare to hide it from Your Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty forgives me, the master should go to the back garden......"

As he spoke, he remembered something, and said again: "If the master is not in the back garden, he will be in the back kitchen!" ”

"Back garden...... Back kitchen? ”

Zhu Di instantly remembered a familiar scene, Guo An was sneaky and secretly ate sweet potatoes in the back garden......

No, there are no sweet potatoes in the back garden of the Dingguo Mansion!

Yes, just corn!

Thinking about it, Zhu Di's face changed again, and he stared at his subordinates tightly.

"Corn ready to eat?"

The subordinate trembled and hurriedly said, "The villain doesn't know!" ”

Zhu Di didn't pay attention to the subordinates, but said directly to Yishiha: "Let's go, let's go to the back garden to see what Dingguo Gong is doing!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yizha is also full of expectations.

Saying that, Zhu Di had already taken the lead, walked out of the main hall, and walked to the back garden.

Before the guards outside the door left, they saw Zhu Di walking towards the back garden, looking confused.

And the subordinates of the main hall were even more frightened, and their mouths were chattering again and again.

"Master, don't blame the villain, the villain really doesn't dare to deceive Your Majesty...... Moreover, the villain can't hide it...... You've just gotten up and you've just gone to the back garden, so you shouldn't have done it yet......"

Now.

Inside the back garden.

Guo An looked at the corn whiskers in the three-point corn field that had begun to turn black, and his face was full of excitement.

"Guo Ang, quickly let the back kitchen start boiling water!"

"Yes, sir!"

Guo Ang answered, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.

"Xu Yong!"

"Sir!"

On the side, Xu Yong hurriedly responded.

Guo An continued: "You come in with us, and we will teach you how to choose corn!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Xu Yong cautiously followed Guo An and squeezed into the cornfield.

"Xu Yong, pay attention, the more purple and black the color of this ear of corn, the larger and more mature the corn kernels inside will grow...... Then, you peel off the coat of the ear of corn a little bit, see the kernels, look at the color, if you feel unconfident, squeeze it with your fingernails to see if it is tender......"

"You see, although this one is juicy, it's not too tender......"

As he spoke, at the moment when Xu Yong nodded, Guo An used his strength, and the corn had been broken by Guo An.

Xu Yong was dumbfounded, this is the corn that His Majesty attaches great importance to, and the grandfather is so casual!

"Old man......"

"It's okay, although it is not completely ripe, but this tender corn tastes the sweetest!"

Saying that, Guo An was already standing in front of another corn plant, carefully picking up a gap with his hand, pinching it with his hand, and then under Xu Yong's nervous gaze, he directly broke it off and threw it to Xu Yong.

And then there's the next one!

broke five in a row, and Guo An's movements slowed down.

"Xu Yong, do you want to try one?"

Hearing this, Xu Yong's eyes were full of emotion.

"Grandpa, corn is so expensive, even His Majesty attaches great importance to it......"

"Alright, alright!"

Guo An waved his hand unconcernedly, "You are too rigid, I spent so much effort to let people bring corn back to Daming from overseas, isn't it just for this delicious bite?" ……”

"Isn't it disrespectful to eat such delicious corn if you don't eat it? …… As for His Majesty's attention, he experimented with the field outside the city, but he planted so much, which was enough for His Majesty to cultivate corn seeds......

As for us, they are just some ordinary people, not the kind of Ming saints like Your Majesty, we still have such a big opportunity without being a traitor, just enjoy it at will! ”

Hearing this, Xu Yong also nodded subconsciously, "What Grandpa said is very ......"

As he spoke, Xu Yong seemed to notice something, and subconsciously looked back to see a familiar figure, standing outside, staring at them tightly, his eyes suddenly widened, and he exclaimed: "Your Majesty!" ……”

"Your Majesty?"

Guo An didn't react, just sneered, "Okay, I know that you are loyal to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty is not in our mansion, let's just eat it ourselves."

Wait, we'll pick a corn for you......."

Guo An was still chattering as he walked in, "Xu Yong, don't give a gift to Your Majesty in this matter...... It's not that I don't want to deceive Your Majesty, but this is the best state for Your Majesty.

If you let Your Majesty know that you can eat corn like this, do you think Your Majesty should eat it?

This corn is the most delicious, and I know Your Majesty, who may not be able to withstand such temptations...... However, this does not breed corn, and even spoils corn a little!

And Your Majesty, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is responsible for the whole world......"

"Xu Yong, tell me, if you go up, won't you put Your Majesty in a dilemma...... Hey...... Finally find one, this corn is big and plump, it's yours! ”

As he spoke, Guo An directly broke it, and the corn was in Guo An's hand, and Guo An threw it to the side casually.

"Take it!"

"Poof!"

Xu Yong didn't catch it, and the corn fell to the ground!

Guo An frowned slightly, "Xu Yong, why are you so inattentive...... Hey, Xu Yong, why don't you come and stand so far away......"

Before he finished speaking, Guo An directly stiffened in place.

looked at the figure standing beside Xu Yong, with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, why are you here? Wechen didn't come far to greet him, what a sin, a sin ......"

"Humph!"

Zhu Di put down the corn in his hand and snorted coldly.

"If we don't come, I don't know that your Dingguo Gong will arrange me behind my back like this, and even pry Xu Yong to deceive me together......"

Guo An's eyes widened, his face full of incredulity, "Your Majesty, Xu Yong is really the secret agent you sent to see what Weichen does every day?" ”

Xu Yong's eyes suddenly widened, full of fear!

My grandfather, how dare you say this?

The people on the side were also dumbfounded!

Zhu Di was suddenly furious, "Fart, how could I do such a thing?" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, it is Weichen who misunderstood Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent Xu Yong and these old brothers, naturally to protect Weichen, Weichen is confused, and he is talking nonsense......"

Guo An hurriedly explained with a sincere face, "I don't know if Your Majesty came to the Weichen Mansion in person this time, but what are your orders?" ”

"There's one thing, I'm ......"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, and then prepared to say what he meant.

It's just that when he saw so much corn in Xu Yong's hands in front of him, his face suddenly darkened.

"Guo thief, you actually want to fool around and try to make me not pay attention to this matter?"

"Huh?"

Guo An's eyes widened, full of confusion, "Your Majesty has misunderstood Weichen!" ”

"Humph!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly again, "You don't have to quibble, this corn, break off two more for me, I will lose one, and I will lose one!" ”

"Wechen obeys!"

Guo An hurriedly answered, and then walked into the cornfield again.

Just two corns, as long as Zhu Di doesn't bother with what he just said, a few more are worth it.

And Yizha is full of excitement.

"Thank you, slave, for your kindness!"

Xu Yong was also relieved, but his back was already soaked.

"It's okay, Guo Qing should be taught a hard lesson!"

Zhu Di hated it, but his eyes were full of expectation.

Obviously, he was also looking forward to the corn.

On the side, Yisha is smiling with a smile on his face, are you a lesson?

In the entire Ming Dynasty, which minister dared to say this about you behind your back, after being heard by you, he still laughed with you, and even dared to question you, and you were not angry?

Even, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't dare to do this!

"Your Majesty, look at these two corns, but they are the biggest ...... in this corn field."

At this time, Guo An ran out of the cornfield again, holding two huge corns in his hands, and showed it to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di looked at it very seriously, looked at the corn in Xu Yong's hand for a long time, and nodded slowly.

“……”

Guo An hurriedly handed the corn to Xu Yong on the side, "Send these corns to the back kitchen, hand them to Guo Ang, and let him finish the corn skin, pull the ears inside, put them in the pot, boil half of the incense, and it will be cooked!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa!"

Xu Yong hurriedly responded, then saluted Zhu Di again, and hurriedly sent it to the back kitchen.

"Your Majesty, let's go to the main hall!"

Guo An asked Zhu Di for instructions.

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

Soon.

The two of them went to the main hall.

After the servant served hot tea, Guo An looked at Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, but what has happened?"

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An, "I can't come out to relax, in order to come to your house, what happened?" ”

Guo An was stunned.

In his later life, when he was in college, as long as he was fine, he could not call his father for a month. And as soon as you call, there is only one thing, the cost of living is gone!

And Zhu Di, on weekdays, ten days and half a month, or even once a month, did not come to his house for the last time, but now that he has come......

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words.

Although he is here, it has long been a Daming cultivation series...... Zhu Di cultivation series ......

But, I just can't say it!

Zhu Di is also the emperor of tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongding of the Ming Dynasty!

Although you grow up, you also have to be dignified!

"Wechen often drums up some delicacies, Your Majesty is here to see if Wechen has made any delicacies!"

"That's it!"

Zhu Di's face was straight.

Guo An said: "Please wait a little longer, the delicacy of corn will not disappoint Your Majesty!" ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di nodded a little reservedly, and then his face turned straight.

"Guo Qing, you are a craftsman, you can't always be greedy for food, you should also study more and study craftsman, and then invent some good things for Daming, such as what you told me a few years ago, artificial rain!"

"Artificial rainfall ......"

Guo An was stunned, he almost forgot about it!

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, in the past two years, Weichen has been silently recruiting talented craftsmen and apprentices for the Jiangjunshan Workshop and Craftsman Academy, and has been silently accumulating strength!"

"Very good!"

Zhu Di nodded with great satisfaction, then took a sip of warm tea and slowly spoke.

"Guo Qing, I don't know if you have heard, now there are some rebellious ministers and thieves who have begun to spread rumors in secret, trying to unite the gentry from all over the Ming Dynasty, and want to unite against me!"

"What?"

Guo An's face was suddenly full of consternation, "Your Majesty, this will happen, and there are still gentry who dare to take the lead?" ”

"It's all a group of rebellious ministers and thieves left over from the previous Yuan......"

Zhu Di hated and said, "If you dare to spread rumors, I let Wang Zhen investigate the case, which is to use the blood of the Ming gentry to live the lives of the Ming people...... Cheap Reader...... even insulted the emperor...... Etiquette and music are broken, and the king has no way to ......"

"Your Majesty, these rumors, Weichen has not heard them yet!"

Guo An also hurriedly said indignantly, "However, these chaotic ministers and thieves are really crazy. ”

"Hmph, I've already asked Jinyiwei and Yishuha to investigate secretly!"

Guo An said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Zhu Di asked again: "Guo Qing, these chaotic ministers and thieves will definitely be hidden, and it will be difficult to find them for a while." But I can't allow them to go on like this, what is your best plan? ”

Hearing this, Guo An was stunned again.

"Your Majesty, this matter is easy!"

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's face was overjoyed, "Guo Qing has a way?" ”

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten the Di Bao?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhu Di's eyes also widened instantly.

"Guo Qing wants us to send someone to write an article and put it in the newspaper to suppress the remarks of those rebellious ministers and thieves?"

Guo An smiled lightly, "Your Majesty, how respectful you are, how can those chaotic ministers and thieves be worthy of your action?" ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers in the cabinet are all writing some good articles, as well as Guozijian, so many Confucian and Ming scholars, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find these people to ask for articles......

If it can be published in the Di newspaper and let them spread their fame, presumably those who read, even if they are Confucians, will scramble to ......"

“……”

Zhu Di looked at Guo An quietly for a long time, and then laughed.

"Guo Qing is really my virtuous minister!"

"Your Majesty, Weichen is a virtuous minister of His Majesty, so I don't know if the corn in the test field of General Mountain can also let Weichen collect some ......"

"Can't!"

Zhu Di turned his face directly and didn't recognize anyone!

"Your Majesty, Wechen ......"

What else does Guo An want to say.

Zhu Di's face was resolute, "Your back garden, there is so much corn, don't fight the corn in the Jiangjun Mountain test field, there is absolutely no place to negotiate......"

"......" (end of chapter)
